Before the Argonauts can make it back to Iolkos, they must contend with a legion of foes who would see them dead – and a web of allies who are not quite what they seem.</p><p>Jason and his warriors must outwit the recondite Circe and the spies of mighty Troy, overcome hostile tribes beyond the Danube, and sail the troubled waters of the Archipelagos, where the Sirens wait to snare unwary seafarers.</p><p>Yet Jason's perils are only beginning, for he will soon discover that a truer evil lies closer to home...</p><p><b>Praise for Mark Knowles: </b></p><p>'A deeply researched historical epic, so brilliantly brought to life I could taste the salt air on my tongue...
